CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 121

An administrator is investigating several unexpected documents and video files that recently appeared in a network share. The administrator checks the properties of the files and sees the author’s name on the documents is not a company employee. The administrator questions the other users, but no one knows anything about the files. The administrator then checks the log files and discovers the FTP protocol was used to copy the files to the server.

Which of the following needs to be done to prevent this from happening again?

Answer options

• A. Implement data loss prevention.
• B. Configure intrusion detection.
• C. Turn on User Account Control.
• D. Disable anonymous access.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Disabling anonymous access is essential as it restricts unauthorized users from uploading files to the server, which directly addresses the security issue identified. Implementing data loss prevention and configuring intrusion detection are useful but do not directly prevent unauthorized file uploads. Turning on User Account Control does not relate to file access and sharing in network environments.
